Guhring drills down on new innovations at MACH 2024

Guhring Stand at MACH

At the recent MACH exhibition, German cutting tool manufacturer Guhring, represented in the UK by Birmingham-based subsidiary Guhring Ltd, presented a host of new cutting tool innovations milling, threading and drilling innovations.

Making its MACH debut was the new RT100 InoxPro range of high-performance solid carbide drills for machining stainless steel and titanium alloys. When machining these challenging materials, tool wear can be detrimental to productivity and performance — the RT100 InoxPro overcomes these challenges with its new geometry that optimises chip formation. This through-coolant series provides an ultra-smooth Perrox coating that enhances wear protection and an optimised carbide substrate that delivers the perfect balance of hardness and toughness — improving feed rates and tool life by more than 50%.

Meanwhile, the new SkyLiner series of end mills for rough and finish machining of aluminium and non-ferrous materials were also seen at MACH for the first time. Generating never-before-seen results when pocketing and wall milling, the new Alu RF100 SkyLiner F provides impeccable surface finishes even at the highest feed rates. This three-flute tool was complemented at the show by the Alu RF100 SkyLiner R for rough machining. This combination impressed visitors with its high-performance aluminium machining credentials.

Guhring’s national sales manager Chris Bush said: “MACH was once again a huge success for Guhring. We received a record level of enquiries from manufacturers serious about improving their machining performance and strengthening their supply chain by working us — we always have more than £5 million of stock in our warehouse ready for next-day delivery.”

Also on display were a wide variety of favourites such as the RF100 Sharp, the Diver Series of end mills, the RF100 Speed and the popular RF100 Micro Diver for the rapidly evolving micro-machining sector. As part of the stand, Guhring also highlighted its extensive PCD cutting tool portfolio.

Mr Bush concluded: “The unprecedented level of interest in our standard and special product lines demonstrated that Guhring is not only an industry-leading innovator but also a manufacturer that constantly communicates with its customers to deliver the groundbreaking innovations that manufacturers require. We look forward to once again participating at MACH 2026.”
